What is transient ischemic attack?
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is where a patient experiences stroke like symptoms for a short period of time, usually under 24 hours. It is usually caused by some kind of temporary disturbance of blood supply to some area of the brain and it can be considered a warning sign of a true stroke.
